Neck Lifting

Neck lifting, also known as a neck lift or platysmaplasty, is a surgical procedure that is used to improve the appearance of the neck. It is often performed in conjunction with a facelift to address sagging skin and excess fat in the neck area.

During a neck lift, the surgeon will make incisions in the neck and remove excess fat, tighten the underlying muscles, and reposition the skin to create a more youthful and defined neck contour. The procedure can be performed using various techniques, including traditional surgery, laser surgery, or endoscopic surgery, depending on the individual's specific needs and desired results.

Neck lifting can be an effective treatment for those who are experiencing sagging skin, wrinkles, and excess fat in the neck area, and want to improve the appearance of their neck. However, it is important to note that the procedure is not suitable for everyone and it is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine if neck lifting is right for you. The surgeon will consider factors such as your skin type, medical history, and overall health before recommending the procedure.

How long does the neck lift operation take?

The length of a neck lift surgery will depend on the specific techniques and techniques used by the surgeon, as well as the extent of treatment needed. In general, neck lift surgery takes about 2-4 hours to complete.

During the procedure, the surgeon will make incisions in the neck to access the underlying muscles and fat. The excess fat will be removed, the muscles will be tightened, and the skin will be repositioned to create a more youthful and defined neck contour. The incisions will then be closed with sutures or skin adhesives.

After the surgery, the patient will typically need to rest for a few days to allow the incisions to heal. There may be some swelling, bruising, and discomfort following the surgery, but these symptoms should resolve within a few weeks. Most patients are able to return to work and other normal activities within a week or two after the surgery, although strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks to allow the neck to heal properly. It is important to follow the surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully to ensure the best possible recovery and results.
